Post-GenSan

Monday, April 30th, 2007

I can smell the pollution from the streets outside coming through the window of our apartment here in Quezon City. It is indeed quite bad. Doctors have found something wrong with my mother’s lungs and they are doing more x-rays. She might be recommended to stay outside the city. Except in the office when she […]

Holiday in GenSan

Friday, April 27th, 2007

Apart from the fact that my caregiver is having problems continuing any crochet work because of the pain in her hands and arms, I am having problems continuing Prolog because of logic! I mean, what about my dog logic???
I have also been on vacation for two weeks in General Santos City in Mindanao. […]

Countdown to homecoming ….

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

We will be leaving GenSan soon. I joked my partner who has been suddenly quiet while discussing with Ali that he finally met his match - Ali talked so much more than he could. I guess the quiet is also because of the thought of leaving; we already feel very much at home […]

I took photos of many plant varieties growing there and will post on Korakora gallery when I get back […]

Swimming for dummies

Saturday, April 21st, 2007

Two days ago, my partner and I finally managed to visit the resort and restaurant farm called “Cambridge” just across our subdivision here in General Santos City. Our target was the pool.
My accomplishment for that day was getting my eyes open under water. I can’t swim at all. Although I play […]

The plastic bag in the plastic bag in the plastic bag

Already a week in General Santos city. It is really good to be back in GenSan. I guess it is a good idea to stay for some 2 weeks, live in a house and do our own cooking, etc., to see how things go, whether there was anything about Manila that we’d miss. And then […]

Food, food (and non-food) for thought, for Good Friday

Friday, April 6th, 2007

Beginning April, I am keeping log of the various hand, arm, chest and neck pains that I’ve been experiencing (I have decided to actually use the diary calendar given by the Central Bank, it is quite beautiful, and such beautiful calendar/planners I often wouldn’t use at all!). I’ve consulted a doctor two years ago and […]
